Office building planned for Museum Reach

Conceptual plans for a four-story, 25,000-square-foot office building along the Museum Reach portion of the River Walk goes before the Historic and Design Review Commission this week. The address is 206 Arden Grove  the road behind KSAT 12 which dead-ends at 9th Street. In relation to the River Walk, it’s across the river from the Turner Club.

The owner of the property is listed as Martin Phipps. The applicant is Robert Moritz, an associate with DHR Architects.

The HDRC is expected to give conceptual approval of the plans, as it met with Moritz late last week. And the building meets the minimum requirements of the RIO-2 zoning overlay. An archaeological report of the land showed that a bomb shelter is located on the property, and so it will have to be documented and photographed before construction begins.
